Beck Talks About Deprogramming, Priorities and Dotting the 'I'

Every OC coaches from the box! pretty much, there are exceptions.

<_<

The "if the previous staff did it, it is fundamentally bad and the opposite should be done" is very, well, reactionary.

:yeah

Everytime they show the OC on TV, he is coaching from the box. You see defenses better and are able to make adjustments better. Besides isn't that what the position coaches are for, to coach up the players on the sideline?

On the other hand, if a prior coach did something and that prior coach was an abject failure, perhaps his techniques should be viewed with some degree of skepticism.

I appreciate the benefit of having someone in the box, but does it have to be our OC/QB coach? Can't we put, say, Fisher in the box and have him call down to Beck?

I can think of several OCs (or HCs with play-calling responsibilities) who are not in the box. Lane Kiffin comes to mind. Chip Kelly as well. Chris Ault. And I believe Gus Malzahn also hangs out on the sideline. Point being, one can call plays from the sideline without too much trouble. And for the OCs who are in the booth, do those teams have a separate QB coach or co-OC who can provide face-to-face coaching with the QB on the sideline?

While i'd say the problems on offense last year have much less to do with him being in the box, than it had to do with his ability to adjust and teach the system. That's like saying "look watson wore white shoes last year and our offense sucked so this year Beck better only wear black shoes." Get over it, Beck will do what he feels will get the best results, and if there is some sort of lacking, i'm sure he'd be willing to make the necessary adjustments to get it fixed

 
K I S S

Keep it simple stupid, so players can make adjustments on the fly. Most important strategy in football. Beck hit the nail on the head, love the man already.

Double "Yeah, that"

I have no idea on numbers or percentages, but I'd bet well over half, if not well over 75% of OCs coach from the box.

I frankly don't care if Beck is in the Box, on the sideline or coaching via satellite feed from the Bahamas - if he can see what's going on, call effective plays and keep his unit in the game, who cares where he is?

 
Does NU have as good of OL today that TO had? Maybe, maybe not. What I do know is that we don't have near the OL coach(es) today that TO had. We had a lot of in-state kids playing on the OL. TO had a pipeline, but that pipeline was developed and built rather than being recruited. It was also built with extremely intelligent players. Both Jon and Rob Zatechka were valedictorians of their class. On the 94' starting OL, Wiegert had the poorest gpa. However, it was still above a 3.0. The reason this was important is because these guys didn't miss blocks and/or assignments. We didn't see all the mindless false starts and such from those guys. If you have smart disciplined OL making their blocks, you can run on eight in the box.

 
Q: Define how you will work with the quarterbacks, exactly what you're looking for and how you will determine who gets the keys to the car.
A: Obviously, we're looking for the most consistent guy and the best leader. That's important. Just because you're the starting quarterback does not guarantee great leadership. Leadership is based on making the least amount of mistakes and guys that "get" the system and figure it all out. There is a lot to teach them and a lot to deprogram so they figure out what they need to do, how to do it and why they need to do it. I'm excited, and I think our quarterbacks are excited about it. We're not really out of the war room yet, though, so it's hard to tell right now where it's all headed.
The most consistent QB. Wow. How will that be? Consistency was in short supply last year.
Talked to a player the other day, from what he made it sound like Martinez is head and shoulders above any other QB right now, especially throwing.

God help you for saying that. This is HB where the overwhelming majority of posters state kids who have never taken a snap in cfb are our best qbs "and" have the best leadership.

I'll hunker down with for the onslaught of insults you're going to get. Maybe we can call in some beer & dancing girls. :-)

I get that you're exaggerating for comedic effect, but the contingent of HuskerBoarders who voted for Carnes in the best QB poll was far smaller than those who voted for Martinez. Oddly, they were far greater than those who voted for Green, so you kinda have a point there.

 
The man wants big sets with double TEs and 2 back formations while keeping the zone-read and wildcat. This is what we need, God bless Husker Nation.

Here we Huskers Here we GO

Just like last year when a sizable minority was excited to see what Taylor could do calling the shots, despite his never having taken a snap.

I just hope that we start to see some depth a qb so we can keep running the offense w/out a 50% drop in production if we need to switch qb's during a game.
